Jay Gould, during Mr. Robert CARROTS
absence in Europe, managed to get control
of the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph lines,
the only competitor east of the Mississippi
to the Western Union lines, owned by
Gould The result of this monopoly has
been the advance of rates from Baltimore
to New York from ten to twenty-five cents
and to Chicago from taoenty to forty cents.
If the Republicans carry Maryland his
next step will be to gobble up the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, in which Baltimore city
and the state own large amount of stock.
IF Gould gets it the stock will be watered,
and used for gambling purposes, and divi-
dends will be passed or paid just as best
suits his interest.

Spurious Tickets.

We have been reliably Informed that
spurious and fraudulent tickets have been
circulated by Republicans in this county.
The ticket has the appearance of Demo
cratic ticket, has nearly all the names of the
Democratic nominees on it, but printed
among the Democratic candidates are the
names of two or three Republican nomi.
nees.
This ticket is intended to deceiue, and
is circulated in the interest Of a party. that
has been crying fraud and demanding pure
elections. Their idea of Reform is to de-
feat the Democratic party, BY any means,
far or foul,
n@~DemOcrats, examine your tickets
carefully.

REPUBLICAN L1BERAL1TY.
An Employe Discharged from the Sentinel
ONCE Because he Refused to Vote for One
Republican Candidate.

Mechanics and Laboring Men, Read.
The Republican party of Carroll county
are building hopes Of success for a part of
their ticket next Tuesday.
To be successful it is necessary to get
Democratic votes, and the candidates have
been riding the county for three weeks
begging Democrats to vote for them.
On Thursday morning, however, an en-
ploye of the Sentinel, the Republican organ
of the county, was discharged because he
had expressed his intention to vote for one
candidate on the Democratic ticket.
He has been a faithful workman, and
been connected with the office for many
years. He had a special grievance against
one of the Republican nominees, and cannot
conscientiously vote for him.
We are not certain as to the facts in the
case, but learn that committee of Repub-
licans waited upon the proprietor and de-
manded that the employee be given the op-
ton of supporting the full Republican tick
ct or being discharged. Be that as it may,
the fact remains that Mr. Harry Lockard
was discharged, and because he would not
agree to vote for the candidate that was
personally distasteful to him. 1t may be
proper to state, however, that the candidate
in question was not party to the discharge.
This is a sample of Republican liberality
1t is the same iJerality and fairness that
the party melted out to citizens during their
reign in Maryland, from 1861 to 1867.
Then no man was allowed to vote who did
not vote as they wanted him to do. Not
having the power to CONTROL all the people
now, they seek to coerce employees depen-
dent upon their daily labor FIR their sup
port.
This is the most INDUSTRIOUS OUT
RAGE PERPETRATED UPON A
FREEMAN that has come to our knowl
edge in this county since the days of Re
publican ascendancy. Every mechanic
and laJoriag man in the county should
make his cause theirs, and rote sOlidly Il
bury so lroscriptice a party at the election
meet Tuesday,
A party that would deprive a man Of
support, because his conscience would moi
permit him to vote as it wanted, is not &
safe one to trust with power

The United States Senate is
closely divided. The Democrats
hope to have a majority in the
next Senate, and in order that
both houses of Congress may be
in accord with the President, and
aid, rather than retard necessary
reforms in the government, it is
essential that Maryland should
send Democrats to the Senate.
A vote for Pinkney j. Bennett
is vote to put the United States
Senate under Democratic control.

The Democrats of Frederick and Mont
gomery counties, comprising the sixth ju-
dicial circuit, on Monday nominated Capt.
james McSherry, of Frederick, for chief
judge, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
death of Judge Richie. The Republican
convention met the same day, but declined
to nominate candidate, on the alleged
ground that sthe judiciary ought to be d.
yorced from partisan politics" The real
reason was that the Democratic majority in
the district is about 500.

Mr.. Walter B. Brooks, Republican NOM
inee for Governor, has a brother, Mr..
Thorndyke Brooks, living at Sykesville,
this county He is Democrat, however,
and has announced his purpose to vote the
straight Democratic ticket. That is the
right kind of Democracy. Mr.. Walter
Brooks represents principles he cannot en-
dorse, and he cannot uphold them by his
vote. He is not voting against his brother,
but against his principles. This is an ex-
ample for all Democrats, not only in Carroll,
but throughout the state. Principles not
men, comprise the issue of the campaign.

Mr.. Brooks, the Republican nominee for
Governor, is President of the Canton Com
pany. This Company for some years evad-
ed taxation, and when the state officers
took the matter in hand, Mr.. Brooks tried
to lobby a hill through tie legislature to
exempt the Company's property from paying
its just portion Of the states expenses. If
the farmers of Carroll don't want corpora
lions to be exempt from taxation, and more
tax put upon land, they should vote for
JACKSON, WHITE and BAUGH-
MAN.

High Assessment.

The biennial talk about the high assess
ment in Carroll is again heard from the
party that every two years tries to get
control of Carroll county. The assertion
was first made in 1879, and it has been
repeated in every county campaign since.
The ADVOCATE exploded the idea four
years ago, by showing from actual sales
during period of two or three months
that land forced into the market brought
from thirty to forty per cent. more than its
assessed value.
